Foster Walker Complex looks like the number "8", so this is the
inside of the west side. Note the dinner hall on the right side
of the picture. It is famous for the lack of quality of its food,
or the lack of any food actually.
I live in House 4. Look at the window on the first floor, third
one from the right. That's almost my room. My place is inside
the concaved area between the third and fourth windows.
My window faces this street. The houses are alright, although
they have much better homes up north.
This is the reason why I didn't buy a bike here.
Or a car.
The front view of Foster Walker. The lobby faces north.
Going east from Foster Walker, I reach Sheridan Road. The building
across the street is for Kellogg, Northwestern's graduate school
of management. The people there all use elevators, whereas the
people in Tech all use stairs.
Going past Kellogg, I see the old library to the south.
Look behind the trees, and you'll see the lagoon several hundred
meters away from my position.
In the center is one of the three towers of the new main library.
The old library is connected to the right side of this tower.
The other two towers are on the left.
Standing under the link between the East and North library towers,
I took a picture of Norris University Center. This is the only
place on campus with good food, but it does not accept regular
meal plan meals, and I don't think it's worth it to walk this
far for school food, so I never ate here. I just use this place
to buy the expensive engineering books.
The lagoon is in the center of the picture. In the background
is the material sciences building, the biological sciences building,
and the nanotechnology building, which is still under construction.
Another view of the lagoon. Far in the back would be the lake,
if you can see it.
Some ducks swimming on the right side of the picture.
I'm here on Sunday morning, taking the pictures for my website,
in the cold, and those people don't even shovel the road.
Cross the bridge on the right, and I'll be able to see Lake Michigan.
This is one of the few places where the lake/lagoon is actually
frozen.
I'm on the bridge, after a few minutes of trudging in the snow.
On a clear day, you would be able to see the Chicago skyline from
here.
Finally, I got to the lake. The pole on the right has the emergency
phone in case someone tries to get you at night.
Another view of the lake, to the north.
You see the sun shining, so of course this is taken looking east.
Looking West, I see the lagoon again. I'm not sure what the building
are, even though I pass by them everyday.
Yet another picture of the lake.
Ok so I love the lake. It's my favorite part of this place. Look
at the waves.
I think this is normally a soccer field, but of course it's somewhat
filled with snow right now. You can see the Sports Pavilion and
Aquatic Center in the back, the building with the N symbol on
the right side.
Just a picture of the path I took to go all the way up from north
South Campus to North Campus. With all the signs here, it looks
more like a mine field in Project IGI.
A picture of the lagoon from the north. The building on the left,
right of the trees, is Norris. The two buildings right of Norris
are two of the towers of the main library.
The back of the Technological Institute.
Also the back of Tech, but this time I'm looking at the northeast
wings. The part of the building shown is about 1/9 of the whole
structure. Also note the link to the engineering library on the
right.
Oh I'm finally inside. It's freezing out there. This is one of
the hallways inside Tech. This one is on the first floor, running
east-west. It actually goes down pretty deep, but the door blocked
the view so you don't get that impression.
Second floor M hall, going north-south.
Lecture room M345. The doors are supposed to be locked when school
is closed, but the smart janitors only locked one of the two sets
of doors. L361 on the right of the right wall of this room is
another lecture room of the same size.
Another east-west hallway. I didn't take this picture starting
at the very end of the hall, but you still can't see the end,
so I think this gives you a better idea of how far I have to walk.
I just got this picture because it's the ECE hallway. This is
on the fourth floor, so it only has faculty offices.
Oh look at this door. You open it, and you commit suicide. The
stairs are not really in the right direction.
Another picture of this door. This time you get to see the stairs
more clearly.
As the words on the picture say, this is a map of Tech. I took
this picture outside the Undergraduate Engineering Office on the
second floor.
I think this is the largest lecture room in Northwestern. They
usually put non-engineering classes such as Orgo, Gen Chem, and
Physics here. The NU CSSA also showed the CCTV 2002 Lunar New
Year performance here. Shown here is LR2. LR3 is another lecture
room of the same size on the other size of Tech. Behind these
two lecture halls are LR4 and LR5, which are about the same size
as M345.
Coming out of Tech, this leads to Sheridan.
Oh wait, I forgot to take a picture of the lobby, so I rushed
to get any picture. I'll get a better one in the future; this
one is sad. You only see the entrance to the Tech Auditorium.
Also, on the side of the big circular light on the top, it should
say the name of this building.
Finally, here is a picture of the front of Tech. Trees blocked
the view, though, so I'll need to get a better one next time along
with the lobby. Well it's 9:30 and too many people are going to
church, so I'm going to put away my camera and head back to my
room. It'll take some time to convert all these pictures and write
the descriptions, too.
